Top Highlights

“Our word should be truthful not in principle but concretely. A truthfulness that is not concrete is not truthful at all before God.” (Page 750)

“Emotional love loves the other for the sake of itself; spiritual love loves the other for the sake of Christ.” (Page 526)

“Christianity conceals within itself a germ hostile to the church. It is far too easy for us to base our claims to God on our own Christian religiosity and our church commitment, and in so doing utterly to misunderstand and distort the Christian idea. And yet Christianity needs the church; that is the paradox we will be able to elucidate and understand only in the next session.” (Page 68)

“Who stands firm? Only the one whose ultimate standard is not his reason, his principles, conscience, freedom, or virtue; only the one who is prepared to sacrifice all of these when, in faith and in relationship to God alone, he is called to obedient and responsible action.” (Page 764)

“It requires merely that we acknowledge the exclusive honor due the eternal God and acknowledge our own nothingness before God.” (Page 73)
